Kushiel's Scion

The Kushiel Legacy, set in a fictional medieval Europe and penned by adult fantasy fiction novelist Jacqueline Carey, features two trilogies: the Phedre Trilogy and the Imriel Trilogy. The first installment of the Imriel Trilogy, Kushiel's Scion, introduces audiences to Imriel, foster son of Phedre and a prince of the blood. As young Imriel comes into his own, he delves into a wildly illicit love affair and attends school in the fortified city of Tiberium, which he later defends from siege.
